Coldplay and BTS are both mentioned as both "perfectionist" and "global" groups, because of their meticulousness in their products as well as having a "huge" loyal fan base around the world. The harmony between them is between true artists and always respects their colleagues.
Therefore, when anyone intends to belittle their close BTS friends, Coldplay will be ready to confront them with the sharpest arguments. One of the legendary stories about this is when Colplay stopped a host before he attempted to take down BTS during a show.
This moment makes people realize that Coldplay is a big fan of BTS and also a great friend of the group:
Before collaborating with BTS, Coldplay rarely collaborated with other artists and most of them were famous artists such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, The Chainsmoker, Jay Z, Kanye West,... Coldplay is famous for his personality. private and very strict in his music, especially in collaborating with anyone. Therefore, the appearance of BTS on this list is enough for fans to see the level of talent and influence of Kpop superstars.
Not only that, Coldplay themselves also repeatedly expressed their recognition and praise for what BTS has shown. Chris Martin talks about BTS's music: “I like a lot of BTS’s music”. First, because their music has incredible production and often has very unusual structures and different melo∂ιєs to the ones I hear. You know, a song like Mic Drop. “It’s not somєthing we could ever do. So I admire it because it’s a different skíll.”
They do not hesitate to show respect for each other at any moment. And so, during the 100th episode of the G͜͡E͜͡R͜͡M͜͡A͜͡N͜͡late-night talk show Late Night Berlin, Chris Martin and drummer Will Champion embarrαѕѕed themselves by showing disrespect to their friends. body of the group. During the interview, the Coldplay members spoke proudly about their collaboration with BTS on “My Universe.”
Of course, they couldn't stop being excited about creating this amazing song together. Chris Martin said: "It felt really cool to have two bands that shouldn’t be in love, you know what I mean? We really love them, and we’re playing that song all over the place right now, and it’s super fun". Chris even talked about how he has learned some ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an so that he could sing when they are not able to perform with BTS.
Suddenly, host Klaas Heufer Umlauf mentioned Coldplay's many years of experience in an attempt to compare it with BTS's career of only "10 years". Klaas Heufer Umlauf began: "Even though, of course, you’re long in the business. Yeah, you might know … But it’s been a while, 25 years ago. It’s a good while." and Chris replied: "It’s a long while". Then , he continued: "A long while, yeah, okay. I don’t want to say that you’re very long in the business to say that you are…"
He said that compared to Coldplay, BTS have not been “in the business” very long. Coldplay has been in the music industry for about 25 years, while BTS have been for 8 years, not including their years as trainees. The host said: "But BTS, compared to your career, they are not that long in the business, this is what I want to say, you know, but…"
Both Will Champion and Chris Martin didn’t give Host Klaas Heufer Umlauf much time to get to his point. Immediately, they said regardless of years of experience, BTS are just as much accomplished as anyone! Will Champion immediately said: "They’ve done their eight albums. They’ve done almost more albums than we have. Yeah, you know they’re very experienced". Chris Martin added that with over eight albums, BTS have worked about eight years nonstop. And when the host replied, “They’re faster,” Martin and Champion said, “They work hard!”.
Whether the host had negative intentions or not by his comments, Martin and Champion clearly were prepared to stick up for their friends! Even after defending the group, they turned it over to the host to ask him, “How long have you been in the business?”. That gave him pause and his mind was certainly filled with shame because he knew he had asked a lame, negative question. There is no doubt that Coldplay members are ARMY!
